Diane Deans Greenboro Community Centre

Fantastic experience: Great place for workout class options. Bonus is it's in the same building as the Library.

Negative experience: Quality of services and customer service has gone down at greenboro community center. Paid for a service and showed to up just to be told it is cancelled with no receipt of reimbursement or notice of cancellation. As written by another reviewer, customer service rep named MARY is very rude. She didn't even bother to get up from her chair, just yelled from the back room : it's cancelled for the season, you got your money back. She gave no acknowledgement of the time i took off to bring my daughter there and the time wasted. The young girl at the front was very polite and helped me see my reimbursement with numerous apologies. While iam here I will discuss the quality of camps have gone down aswell. Teenagers "watching" our kids are constantly in groups chit chatting while our babies are running free in the playground. I've noticed they also have a music system they bring with them outside. You would think it's children music however it urban music being blasted with foul language. Things have changed drastically in quality.

Fantastic experience: Excellent

Fantastic experience: I've played indoor mixed volleyball here for over 30 years.

Fantastic experience: I rented a room for the second time annually and it went very well. The room was set up at the designated time, it was clean and had everything I needed. There is a long counter and a sink and fridge as well as some couches and long tables and stacking chairs. The staff were helpful in getting us things like an extension cord and a white board as well. It's a great location and we'll definitely go back again for future planning meetings.

Positive experience: Cool location. Nice staff, nice amenities & ambience

Fantastic experience: Great staff, bike repair station (DIY, but missing a couple important tools) and tire pump station to 9 ok i

Fantastic experience: Un bon service. Les fonctionnaires y sont aimables.

Negative experience: Like come on man.. treat me like a human being! All it is they ask is "Where's your gym membership" and extremely rare occasion, they say "Thank you" and it's one of the new workers who did that. They will never ever ask how my day is going. But for others, they will ask and talk with them. Why is life so unfair man.

Negative experience: Michelle and Mary .... what a pair! Both work in customer service at this location and both suck at it!! Neither is familiar with their employer's accessibility policies and made me and my service dog feel unwelcome and me embarrassed after a berating exchange on their part. Turns out my dog IS allowed at their location and neither has offered me so much as an apology for their discriminating behaviour. In an unrelated event, I had asked Mary to extend my membership because I had been unable to use it for medical reasons. I even offered to produce supporting documentation which Mary told me wasn't required and "extended my membership". Months later I had to cancel my membership for medical reasons and it is then that I realized that Mary had never extended my membership.

Fantastic experience: I feel so fortunate to live near the Greenboro Community Centre and to be able to attend the fitness classes offered 7 days a week. The fitness instructors are great, really helpful and always ready to listen and give advice whenever I ask for guidance. Whether I stop at the library or check in at the reception to attend a fitness class, it's service with a smile. Thank you to all the staff, fitness instructors, volunteers and to everyone working at Greenboro Community Centre for making this the great place that it is.

Fantastic experience: Great library and day care center for kids. Friendly staff Lots of parking space. Small pool for kids and lots of trail to cycle and walk

Positive experience: Library was excellent, and staff very helpful. I was disappointed that there's no real pool, only a small outdoor wading pool. And the gym looks very small and cramped.

Fantastic experience: One stop for many services. Staff are very helpful. The library takes you all over the world as you sour on the wings of your imagination!

Positive experience: Great community centre with all that you need! Never been to this gym myself but my family loves it. It's also got nice places to sit and the connection to the library is great. A shame there isn't a pool or place for court sports, would make it so much better! The nice little second hand book shop is super nice though, 10/10 recommend - always some nice finds.

Negative experience: Pretty standard ,when it comes meeting expectations it exceeded mine. So why a low rating you ask? Well the answer to that is the fact the city has given up and gave in to COMMUNITY LEADERS demands and basically every city funded facility is different.no more across the board stability which is unfortunate. I understand that st Laurent complex in greenbrook do not have the same demographics but its ridiculous in my opinion to Loosen the leash so to say too keep people Happy. If you want arabic abd somalian as your choice of language and if you want everyone to be fasting in the community centre during ramadan this your place.

Fantastic experience: We went to this community centre for a monthly social/ballroom dance party organized by Andre (who teaches ballroom/Latin dance and Argentine Tango classes at Greensboro CC, just search “FrancineAndreDance” at Facebook). I have to say that Greensboro CC has one of the best dance rooms in Ottawa. The beautiful hardwood floor is well maintained. The size of the room is huge too. In Ottawa, I say only Churchill Senior Centre and Glebe Community Centre have dance hall that can compare with Greensboro CC’s dance room. However, I think Greensboro has a better dance hardwood floor. The hardwood floor is well engineered and raised that it does not hurt our knees when dancing. This is very important to seniors! I wish that that Stittsville/Kanata seniors can have similar facilities.

Fantastic experience: The staff are kind and helpful.

Fantastic experience: My volleyball love

Fantastic experience: Free gym

Positive experience: I used to go here quite often and then I stopped. I recently started going and I’ve got to say, it’s an amazing place for students to go study. It’s always relatively quiet and the atmosphere is very friendly. Wifi, plugs at every desk, large space, not too many people... it’s the ideal spot to go study for exams.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff great environment!

Positive experience: this place has sum nice facilities- but in typical big "small" city Ottawa fashion, this place is way short on parking spaces

Positive experience: I like using the library more. It has great selection of books and a nice place to study. I wish the gym was a bit bigger, it would motivate me to go more. I find the community Centre a better fit for children and young teens. It has great activities for them and I see a lot of teens studying in groups in the library. It is really great to see that!

Fantastic experience: Great for the whole family. Library with books and games for kids

Positive experience: Lots of activities and group or team games

Positive experience: Nice place for a library

Positive experience: Very busy and noisy

Positive experience: Very well maintained facility with lots to do.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this community center since it was built. They offer a lot of sports activities and their gym is a good size. The price is also convenient because it may be used at other city locations.

Fantastic experience: My experience is this place was amazing. My kids were very happy.

Fantastic experience: Really big facility! Loved the dance studio and the weight room. Very friendly CSR Team. Oh and there's an amazing dear lady there - Mary. She's a such an amazing person with loads and loads of information.

Positive experience: This review concerns only the play area and the kiddie pool located at the back of the building. It has lots to do for kids: a few different play structures on sand and a shallow pool for young kids that is supervised by City of Ottawa personnel. The pool opened only at noon and the water was very cold and full of sand, due to the play area. But it was a fun outing for my little one!

Fantastic experience: Very nice, clean and newly renovated

Fantastic experience: The camps, facility, staff, library, everything is amazing!

Fantastic experience: This community center has been newly renovated in the past 5 years. It has expanded and has multiple exercise rooms. Although there is only one fitness weights +equipment room and it is quite small and often very very busy! Always having to fight for treadmill. There is also a great library with many computers to use and great kids programs!

Fantastic experience: Miss ball hockey over there
